What Martian Craters Reveal About the Red Planet's Subsurface
Los Angeles CA (SPX) May 19, 2025
Planetary scientists have discovered a new way to investigate the Martian subsurface by analyzing the debris ejected from impact craters. This approach, which relies on measuring the size and distribution of ejecta blankets, could offer critical insights into hidden features like glaciers and sediment deposits, using only satellite data.
